The 99 KW T800 climbing a big hill straight piped!

[kodiak450r]

I remember my OTR days, and pulling this hill with a Prostar and 10 speed. I was grossing at only 78K and was down to 6th by the top of the hill. that sucked. i bet if i had a 18 and some more ponies i would have made it no problem.

[MrMrcrain]

i bet them 355 rears make it fly

[Hotrodx199]

@MrMrcrain It will go fast but not good for the shit we do. It was geared for a highway truck, not something local pulling almost 100k and 3:55s with a 10 speed was horrible.

[mad4diesel]

@Hotrodx199 Even out here on the flat prairies we don't like anything under 13 spds., and at least a 3.90 gears. Of course pulling super B's through fields and lease roads 18's are a must if you want to give the clutch a chance to live.

[MrMrcrain]

@Hotrodx199 I hear you ,maybe a 15 or a 15 OD ,dad had a 79 kw with a detroit and 15,heck you had to be runnin 79 to put it in the last gear,then it would step on out there about 90 mph.It had no proplem with about 90000 lbs of persimion logs.Got to say we had a 75 pete cummins,it would out pull it.The pete was built so hot it would throw raw fuel out of the pipes,and sit there and sound like a drag car

[LamborghiniV12M]

Sounds AWESOME!!!

[GOLTURBO555]

DAMN! Begins with a jake brake and then climbing the hill... awesome sound

[ladragonaperla1988]

2:07 this squeal must to be Fan clutch

[1972FordF150]

What state was this taken in ? sounds nice

[Hotrodx199]

@1972FordF150 oregon

[1972FordF150]

@Hotrodx199 thats 1 state away from me haha

[85forddiesel]

@Hotrodx199 try putting 4:11 or 4:30's in it

[coyner254]

That sounds B-E-A-utiful :)))

[allispuller1952]

Sounds good, but too bad it's stock. I would never run anything with stock horsepower. They're way turned down from the factory.

[Hotrodx199]

@allispuller1952 The rpms were set to 1800 with the company that had this before, and with a 10 speed, it was terrible for climbing hills.

[KenWorthboyw900l]

Gotta Love Catt Power!!!! nothin like Weighing good 95k With a Cat Still doin Work.. :) Cats Rule! Grate Video man. Thumps up if you Agree about the Cat Power!!!!

[camaro91ful]

excellent video men 5/5 i love the sound of that truck!!!!!

[oevoz]

what load limits do they have that you can run 94k?

[motor86obsessed]

damn man get those revs up!! its a CAT, so quit doggin' it!

[Hotrodx199]

@motor86obsessed You must be thinking of detroits because cats like being lugged

[KenWorthboyw900l]

@Hotrodx199 Gotta love that Volvo sittin off to the Side !! Probably his Detroit Broke Down xD Peaces of shit trucks and Motors they are lol.

[GOLTURBO555]

@Hotrodx199 I love the sound of him downing the shifts... and the straight pipes... more vids like this Please!

[wqfs650]

@Hotrodx199 Cummins are the Same as Detroits LoL They love the RPMS, Cats are pullers, Love the sounds of a CAT>..So much That I made a Chevy Truck into a bad ass Puller. I stuffed a Punched out 454T into the truck with a 4 spd 2 spd split ... I am running dual 4 in straight pipes. Lets just say my heavy 1 ton truck works just as well if not better then the New Chevys with the dura max diesels....

[Travelin3406]

@Hotrodx199 Exactly! It also sounds beautiful when they're pulling outta the that lug!

[crash25016]

@motor86obsessed you can lug a 4 stroke like a cat or a cummins and even the newer detroits but not an old detroit 2 stroke you gotta make them scream to climb a hill

[Traviz2074]

@motor86obsessed if its a cat ya gota drag that son of a whore right down to bout 900. cummins ya wanna keep it up there

[hank7609]

are you guys in montana?

[ilangsfs]

How loud is that in the cab? Might just be my speakers, but I'd think that would get old real quick with all that droning.

[Hotrodx199]

@ilangsfs It's really not that loud at all crusing the freeway @ 1200 rpms. Even on the hills, it doesn't have that drone you would think it has. If this was a cummins, it would be terrible i imagine.

[alex189100]

I pick the jake sound for 18 wos haulin game

[1ogeebygirl1]

Nothing like hearing a cat breath between gears.....what the heck were you pulling?

[Hotrodx199]

@1ogeebygirl1 A load of hogfuel. We weighed like 94k i think

[moe346john]

looks like you need a little more power! or a little smaller hill! haha

[Hotrodx199]

@moe346john or a V8 Mack.

[spydog50]

nice sounding pipes i love it

[RiverGhost007]

Pipes ? What pipes are ypu talking about ?

Aint no pipes on this truck it goes straight to the ground.

[Hotrodx199]

There are factory 5" dual stacks hiding behind chrome pipe guards on the cab.

[Hotrodx199]

Look at 2:13 what do you see? I see a stack guard.

[RiverGhost007]

Fine, nice stacks , too bad the truck is butt ugly.

[Hotrodx199]

Can't argue beings its a T800 and not a W900L LOL

[outlaw3474]

You gotta love a cat with straits cool video

[Hotrodx199]

I think cats sound best with 5 and 6" pipes. Any bigger then that they really start to quiet down. I would probably go with 6" stacks.

[isb235]

this message was for rngrchad. hope this helps you.

[alex189100]

what is the engine HP?

[Hotrodx199]

Well it could be a 450 or a 475hp, but a truck that we sometimes drives that has a c12 in it which is factory at 430 will outpull this thing big time...

[alex189100]

I ask a question cause my brother has a FLD-120 with a 475 cummins & I with him on summer vacation :D hes hauling 40 tons of wheat & climb the first half of this hill 65 mph. Second half on 55mph. Took a gear down cause water temp XD. But nice mph for what have

[johndeerepower09]

man id say you need to turn this thing up

[gsimmons12]

Sweet!

[angelvetto19]

nice video and great output

[rngrchad]

Great video. I drive a T-800 w/ a small c13 and 8 speed fuller. Would you have any idea why the Jakes don't seem to work as well as they used to? I used to be able to wake people up at night, now I barely hear them in the cab, and the jakes certainly don't have the same retarding power they did a hundred thousand miles ago. None of the shops have a clue.

[Hotrodx199]

That seems a little odd. I have no clue. Maybe the jakes are only working on one jake head instead of all 3. That's my only thought. That does seem odd.

[danrichards23]

@rngrchad the new engine brakes work different than the actual jacobs design. so you dont have the cool racket maker. new fire trucks have a transmission brake that slows the tranny. oh yeah ur talkin about same truck, you need to rebuilt the jakes. u can get a kit with springs and snap rings pretty cheap and if your a do it yourselfer its pretty easy.

[danrichards23]

@rngrchad im surprised the shop didnt recommend a rebuild.

[isb235]

it sounds like you need the overhead run on it. over time valves will get out of adjustment caused by normal wear of the engine like the cam lobes and rollers ect, and running the overhead (adjusting the valves, injector height, and jakes) will compensate for the normal wear thats going on inside your engine. most shops will run the over head for about 200 to 300 bucks. most over the road trucks have this done about every 100 to 150 thousand miles. so if your local might wanna do it more often.

[stevesprinceofsteaks]

Nice video. Dad needs to get a 13 or 18 and he will be set. lol

[Hotrodx199]

Well he was going to do an 18 speed swap, but instead he is getting an 18 speed with a long hood peterbilt. Yes soon he won't be driving this anymore, he will be driving a 96 long hood peterbilt 379 N14 with dynaflex mufflers.

[jesus65515]

Nice video

[MrLargecar27]

you sounded heavy

[MrLargecar27]

your driving that truck like its turned up pretty hot alot of people will burn a truck down on a hill like that

[MrLargecar27]

i cant belive you got passed by a mack i hope you awful heavy

[Hotrodx199]

we weighed around 100k truck and trailer.

[BigRiggerJ]

great sounding rig, but i woulda been pushn at least 80 at the bottom haha :P

[dueltruck700]

[kblackav8or]

Looks like I5 to me.

[Hotrodx199]

Yep thats what it is.

[747pro]

[Hotrodx199]

[FordsSuck95]

haha, look at the Volvo broke down

[mstruckerboy]

That truck got a real work out lesson in the hill there : D

[dieselpower4ever]

Now thats more like it, sounds sweet!!!

[keanerulz25]

just like what i see on a mountain around here, i go sit and watch all the trucks chug the mountain, some come barking up the mountain others are quiet and boring, sounds good

[Newfieguy89]

I've said it once and I'll say it again...There's nothing like a Caterpillar engine!! AWOMSE...simply ASWOME!!

[DarkHorseTrucking]

Was that close to Sutherlin?

[Hotrodx199]

Yep! I think as soon as you got down hill it was there i think!
